I see many thread titles that are just asking for a cheeky response but I don't want to trivialize the thread itself.
So if you see such a thread, post the title and your response here.

Examples...
Can I sing 'bloody' on American radio ? - YOUR singing is BLOODY all the time!
Anybody know a good harmonica site? - The trash can!
Sandy and Caroline Paton's Performance. - Am I the only one who wants to giggle at this?
Putting fiddle tunes into medleys - Why? They all sound the same anyway!

So now you can use your smart Alec remarks without offending the thread originator.

Go for it!

Bert.

An autoguitar is something you play while driving. An autoharp is what you play after you crash while playing your autoguitar (if you've been good.)

Bluejay ... re explicit lyrics:
These lyrics are explicit.
They mean just what they say.
There is have no hidden baggage
They're plain and clear as day

They don't avoid the subject
They use four-letter words
They are not mean, or mealy-mouthed
For that would be absurd

To post explicit lyrics
Can seem somehow to vex
But these lyrics are explicit
And explicitly not about sex!
